Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 342 No. 138 "Zhong" Element

Zhong Cheng glanced at Shi Hanxing, Shi Hanxing pondered for a moment, and replied:
"I agree with Minister Chen's opinion!"

"However, it's best not to have our White Tiger Mecha appear on Earth."

"In outer space, if we insist on calling it a new type of space suit, no one can say for sure that it is a mech."

Chen Yilong patted Shi Hanxing's shoulder happily, "Hanxing, you're the only one with lots of tricks!"

Zhong Cheng nodded, thinking that this way of dealing with it was a way to get the best of both worlds.

During this trip to the moon, he saw the means of the Solar System Power Company and the Star Network Company, and he no longer believed that this was a truly peaceful era.

These two companies have the Mutual Aid Association as the background, and they cooperate very closely. Their comprehensive strength is already comparable to that of Red Star.

They are now developing weapons and equipment privately, what exactly do they want to do?
Use genetic soldiers and mecha fighters to maintain order in moon bases and cities, and use them to suppress their workers or ordinary people?

This kind of rhetoric may not even be believed by children.

On the moon, right under the eyes of the Asian Federation, they will still restrain themselves. What will they do when they go to Jupiter and Saturn in the future?
He will definitely remind the federal high-level officials about this matter, but Red Star Company itself is planning for a rainy day, and it is necessary to make certain preparations first.

"Then it's settled, Hanxing, go down and discuss with Zhou Hu, Shaojie, and Yilong, and make a plan for me to see!"

After talking about this, Chen Yilong pointed to the confused Tang Dao, "What about this little guy?"

Considering Tangdao's situation, Zhong Cheng was no longer fit to go to school anymore, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Send him to your security personnel training base, learn what you can learn."

Soon, the plane arrived at Beishan, and Zhong Cheng asked 9528 to park the plane on the top floor of the R&D building of Kunlun Research Institute.

9528 lifted the metal box containing Alicia, and Zhong Cheng and Ye Wenxin got off the plane.

Zhong Cheng asked 9529 to park the plane back to the top floor of the headquarters building, Shi Hanxing took the white tiger mecha to the robot manufacturing company for repairs, and Chen Yilong sent Tang Dao to the hospital for recovery, so there was no need to follow him.

Zhong Cheng asked Ye Wenxin to call Qin Wenyu and ask her to come up and see how to deal with Alicia, a genetic warrior.

Seeing that Ye Wenxin was still a little unsteady, Zhong Cheng helped her to sit on the metal box containing Alicia.

Ye Wenxin sighed: "We've only been on the moon for a week, and it's like this when we get back to the ground. It may take several days to recover. Those astronauts in the space station will be even more miserable!"

Zhong Cheng comforted: "The next time we leave the earth, we will take our own aerospace plane. With your artificial gravity technology, this will not be the case!"

Ye Wenxin nodded, "Where shall we go next time, Mars?"

Five years ago, Ye Wenxin's Institute of Basic Theory finally lived up to expectations and developed a real artificial gravity technology instead of using centrifugal force to replace gravity.

Ye Wenxin has been researching the grand unified theory, but at the current level of technology, without a super-large particle collider, it is impossible to make a breakthrough.

Persuaded by Zhong Cheng, she turned to research on artificial gravity.

She started her research on the anti-gravity effect of 钅kong-310, and found that the anti-gravity principle of 钅kong-310 is that after its powerful field space is strengthened by external energy, the force field offsets the gravitational force of the earth.

She thought that if there were heavier stabilizing elements, there might be a stronger field space, capable of generating a force field large enough to gravitationally pull surrounding objects.

Because the Kunlun Research Institute has a ready-made small-scale benzium-310 synthesis device, Ye Wenxin's research and development team improved on the basis of this synthesis device to synthesize elements heavier than berconium-310.

When the number of protons (or neutrons) in a nucleus is equal to certain numbers, the "half-life" of the nucleus becomes very long. These numbers are named "magic numbers".

目前被普遍认可的“幻数”包括2、8、20、28、50、82、126这7个数字，这就是元素的“稳定岛理论”。

The numbers of protons (or neutrons) of elements such as helium, oxygen, calcium, nickel, tin, and lead that exist stably on the earth correspond to the first 6 "magic numbers" respectively.

And benzium-310 is element 126, which was thought to be the heaviest element in the universe.

But Ye Wenxin's team proposed that there may be even larger "magic numbers", namely 138, 154 and 164.

The "island of stability theory" only considered the nucleus, but not the electrons.

Generally speaking, the more protons in the nucleus, the greater the positive charge it carries, and the stronger the electromagnetic force between the nucleus and electrons.

In this case, the electrons move faster, and the closer the electron is to the nucleus, the faster it is.

According to the "Bohr model", the formula for the velocity of electrons in 1s orbit is: v = Zαc, where Z is the atomic number, α is the "fine structure constant" (its value is about 137/1), and c is the speed of light.

Based on this, it can be calculated that when a certain atomic number reaches 137, the speed of electrons in its 1s orbit reaches the speed of light.

And everyone knows that any particle with mass cannot reach or exceed the speed of light, and electrons are certainly no exception.

So it can be said that the heaviest element in the universe must have an atomic number less than 137.

But Ye Wenxin believes that when the speed of electrons is high, relativistic effects should be taken into account.

The formula in the "Bohr model" does not take this into account, so the "Dirac equation" that combines quantum mechanics and special relativity should be used to describe this situation.

According to the calculation of the "Dirac equation", the heaviest element in the universe should be element 172.

Because Ye Wenxin discovered in the simulation calculation that when the atomic number of an atom is greater than 172, some very strange phenomena will appear, which is already close to a miracle.

One of the most typical simulation results, if there is no electron in the 1s sublayer of the atom, the electric field of its nucleus will "catch" a pair of positive and negative electrons in the vacuum, and then "abandon" the positive electron and the negative electron stay here.

This is completely unbelievable, and it cannot be explained by physics theory, so Ye Wenxin and the others only locked their target within element 172.

After years of continuous simulation and testing, in October 2026, Ye Wenxin's team artificially synthesized element 10 for the first time in the experimental device, with 138 protons and 138 neutrons, and was named element Zhong-184.

Their research found that because the double magic number structure of Zhong-322 is very stable, its half-life is as long as hundreds of millions of years, but its chemical properties are very active and very strange.

It can form compounds with almost all elements, but most of them cannot be stored stably. Even in a vacuum environment, they can continue to combine and decompose, consuming the quality of other elements.

However, the energy of the entire system has not increased significantly, and these energies have been transmitted by Zhong-322's field space.

In the end, they combined Zhong-322 with nickel, tin, lead, and benzium-310 to form a brand new alloy that maintained the chemical stability of Zhong-322.

Because this alloy also contains benzium-310, and its content is higher than that of Zhong-322, it is named Taiyi alloy 401.

Taiyi Alloy 401 is poor in other properties, but it shows a miraculous gravity-like effect in the electrified state.

Research has found that the field space of the Zhong-322 element is strengthened and expanded after attracting energy, forming a "gravitational field" that decreases with distance.

When a high-voltage current of about 401 volts passes through Taiyi alloy 1, the range of the "gravitational field" can be extended to about 3 meters, which is close to the gravity of the earth's surface.

Artificial gravity achieved!
